The more deeply men conceive their individual prosperity to be in volVed in any given subject of legislation, the more in capable are they, in one respect, of exercising a sound judgment upon the, nature of the law or laws to be adopted ;: inasmuch as what they have on one side, they are apt to lose on the other—selfishness and prejudice • leading them astray more frequently than practical. knew , ledge or eiperience guides them. Nor has any class of men in England much right to exult on this account, over the folly or narrowness of their neighbours. , Wherever a monopoly is to be broken up—no matter on what grounds, or in What branch of the national economy, WhetheiSialati-' time, manufacturing, or uppertaining to the latiths-the same eagerness and violence are ever visible in those who fancy themselves to hate been enriched toy the old mono poly—the same deafness to reasoning, and imputienee of reform. The shipping interest would never understand the iinpoisibility of enforcing any longer the old navigie tints law of England, except by submitting to retaliatory measures, which would rather have crippled than served our uterine, and sensibly impaired the general freedom of, that cornmeree by whose prosperity the Shipping interest is nourished. So with the manufacturere: their minds appeared ,long and invincibly ignorant that the old prohi bitory system of, this empire was, since the peace of I EO S , working its own final destruction. They could not for years be made alive to the fact, that a prohibition acted upon by England only, and, therefore favourable to her alone, was a widely different thing from a prohibitory sys . ,tern to he universally acted upon, by foreign nations who had hitherto waved it ; and therefore one, the disadvan tages of which would tell against: this cotuttry-s-a mane factoring and commercial country---with even Mori' bit terness than against any other on the globe. Tilt' Illatal facpuen forgot that if their own prohibitory laws gave them a nominal comMand of the home market, the new adoption of a similar 'code else Where, would equally expel them front every foreign market; and therefore, that if they meant to enjoy in fist ere the sweets of a free mercantile inter course, they must henceforth be satisfied to grimt a share of whet they looked for. The went of candour was on many points as extraordinary mitten of acuteness in our matetfiettn mg body. The clothiers insisted for a consideruhle time that foreign' wool should' be exonerated from the import duty, but that it would be nutmeat° their interests if the Wool of home production should be exported free. The cotton . people were willing that machinery for then trade should be exported furtively and piece -meal, but would not hear of its . legal exportation, by which the smuggler might be checked, and the iron-manufactories benefited. In the same way they would permit our al , titans to timuggle themselves abroad—(for hoW, indeed, Could such a practice- be prevented ?)—but they must be banished for ever from their 'country, by leaving it in the character of transgressors; thus being forced to remain abroad, and to spend inhaniehment the fruits of their in dustry for the Sole benefit of strangers. The silk-manu faeturers reprobated the substitution of a tax out foreign silk for the ancient prohibition of the article, out principles which; if they Went. for army thing, were calculated to prove that as the dernand for foreign silk had been heretofore largely and regtilarly supplied by the smuggler, they, the British silk-weavers, must:be ruined by a tax of thirty per cent. to the Treasury -being added as a clog upon the-ille gal traffic. The common sense of all these relaxations of our system is, that. the rivalship of foreigners must improve the- English fahrisa, and give ,our manufacturers, by And hy s is va l u able s hare of foreign coneomption, besides a practical monopoly at home. But if the • other . classes of our comitrynien have ail tranegressed, and all been forgive's, where the spirit of natural selfishness was permitted to practi , e on their good rionie, there le yet one powerful out exten , it e fitly, who are entitled to it similar privilege, and are not disposed, if we may judge front then proceedings, to abate one particle of its free enjoyment. The agricul turista are that body. The agrieultund body is divided into two brandies, the landlords and the tenants through.; out England, whose immediate interests are apparently distinct, although substantially they would be *like pro moted by a removal of prohibitions from the trade in corn.

There is nothing more' true , than • that arbitrary, power always leads to worse evils than it was meant to remedy. This truth is manifest in the greatest affairs of the world, and in the minor regulations of society it is not unexem .... • plitied. The power' givA 'to Magistrates, with' respect to licensing public-houses, is of an arbitrary character, and good and just Magistrates will adopt a corresponding cau tion in its exercise; hut as the , Commission is not always adorned with • men whose virtue: is too strong for their passions or interest, such an authority often tends, in prao , tire, to abuse and ,oppression. In London the incessant witch which the Press keeps over the acts of men in power, has a great effect in purifying the adMinistration of Justit4itt . all its departments—though disgraceful exeep- lions still occur, which make one regret, that as an organ of opinion; its influence, even in the metropolis, is not still greater. But in the country there is less of the whole- Some rigour of such a moral " surveillance" practised, and therefore there is more danger of arbitrary pbwer becoming partial .and unjust. In the: case of . the licensing system this is frequently-too apparent. The law having. allowed Magistrates to refuse a licence without giving any reason, it often happens that such a step is taken when no fair or honest reason can be given and , individual oppression is committed in.a Court. with closed doors, and against which there is no possibility of redress. Local jealousies, per sonal pique, or conflicting interests, too often lead to de cisions which should be the result of impartial and dispas sionate justice, and so the moral character of the person applying, or the inconvenience or advantage of the house in a public point_of yiew, are. less considered, sometimes, . . than iho private feelings or interests of those who decide on the application. There are, indeed, Magistrates in every county who scorn to pervert the offices of justice to personal objects; but instances arise where they can only express the sentiments of an upright though unavailing mi nority. We should not so often see examples of partiality or oppression, if Magistrates were obliged to give a reason for their decision. tt may be worth while for the Legis lature to consider whether it would not he better to licence the indiVidual than the house, which would toake the exa mination olpersottal claims more neeesSary, and give leSs room fot the operation of a very oppressive monopoly.— INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sart. 14.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. the art of surgery, stated that he was going tip Holborn between six and seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, when he Was accosted by one of the prisoners (John), who asked him to pur chase some real Havannah Cigars. Mr. Milhourne told the fellow several times that he did not want them, but he stuck close to him, still extolling the quality of the cigars, which would be sold for almost nothing. Tired of the man's importunities, and believing him to be in distress, he at length agreed to take a shilling's Worth, and was with much appearance of honesty conducted up a dark passage in Fulwood's-rents, where he was shown into a room, and the other prisoner stood up to receive him, as if pre-informed of his coming. , The'person who decoyed him hither, addressing his associ a t e , s a id, " Weil, Captain, here's a gentleman will buy sonic of your cigars ; mho* them to him, and he'll find they are the right sort." The pretended Captain observed in reply, " Oh, I have none that I can recommend to a gentleman, as they have been damaged by the sea -water, but I can show hint something more worthy of his attention, real French cambric, worth a guinea a yard ; there is nothing at all like it in this conntry," and at the same tune he opened a bundle, produc ing the matchless cambric., Mr. Milbourne 'declared he did not want any, but the prisoners insisted on his buying one piece at all events; measnring full seven yards, which he should have for two guineas, being less than the third of its value; from the signi ficant glances which passed between the fellows, Mr. Milhourne imagined that they were determined to rob him if he persisted in refusing to buy something from them ; however, he told them that he had not so moth money about liim. The prisoners said they would take whatever suin he had about him, and call at his lodgiuge in, the morning for the remainder. Clad to escape at any price, he gave them a guinea, declining to take the cambric, but they literally forced it into his bat, and said they would show him lame very beautiful French made musical boxes, and some choice c ognac b ran dy,' at the same time: . On his return home to Mr. Shepherd's, the surgeon, of Datton-garden, with whom he was then residing, he mentioned the circumstances, and exhibited the cambric which had been forced upon him. Mrs. Shepherd de; Glared that it was not worth 'sa., but on showing it to a linen draper, in Holborn, it proved to he common book muslin, worth abbut 6d. or , 741. a yard. The next morning Mr. Shepherd, being determined not to let so shameful a fraud go unpunished, sent a person with Mr. -Milbourue to try if they could meet the' priaohers, and after walking a few turns in Holborn, they met the same fellow that had accosted Mr. Milbourne the evening before, and on being charged with the- fraud, he said that the money should be returned; they accompanied him into the Crown public house, where he said his employer was waiting for him, but the instant that Mr. Milbourne and his friend entered the room, the latter was assailed by a man with a wooden leg, (suppased to be the notorious duffer, Dick Bowers), who struck him a violent blow on the hack of the head, which threw him across the table, whilst the other fellow ran out of the room ; but being cloSely pursued, he was apprehended at the top of Chancery-lane. The other prisoner was soon after taken into custody by an officer at the old haunt in Fulwootl's.rents. • Thhi statement wax corroborated by two other witnegaes. The prisoners denied having used uny violence to the young gentleman, and as to selling the muslin, they were only employed by another. Sergeant Simms asked who it was that employed him. One of the prisoners said, that his name wail Lesangea, and that they believed the goods to be of ihreign manufacture, as had been represented to them. - .They were both held to bail in good securities—one for the con spiracy to defraud, and the other for assault and conspiracy. They were locked up, no bail appearing. OLD BAILEY, SEpr. 14. RETURNING FROM TRANSPORTATION. John Shales, a decent-looking man, was ' indicted for kingdom; at large in this kingdo, before the term for which he had been sentenced to be transported was expired. The prisoner on being arraigned, pleaded that his name was not John Shales. The RECORDP.R stated to him, that by the late act (Mr. Peel's Act), he was bound to give the name by which he wished to be tried. The prisoner then said that his real natne was' James King," . _ A jury was then empannelled to try which Was his right name. Mr.. A DOLPLIUS for the prosecution, examined Mr. Johnsim, the keeper of Norwich C'aa lk, Who proved that the prisoner Was in his custody for lour itionthg in the year I 13. Afterwards he accompanied him us a prisoner to Portsmouth, and there dclitopred him on hoard a trilli,;iiort, which With, to take With to New South Wales. During the whole time he was with him, the prisoner went by the name of „John Shales, and no other. He was visited by his mother under that name. He had pleaded and %vas tried under that name, and was delivered up to the convict Ship under the same. In his cross-examination by Mr. BRODERICK, Mr. John son said, that he hai had in his custody on the average 230 prisoners every year since ,1813. He was sure that the prisoner was the man who . Was in eustody'as John Shales. He was then a young man, about 20 years old. (Prisoner was set down as, aged :34 in the calendar, and .appears about that age.) John Cowley, a steward in the ship Harney, took out settlers to New South Walk saw the prisoner there in:November last. Ile was known by the name of " James Shales." lie came in the Harney, from New South Wales to Monte Video, where he (witness) went on shore, and the ship came to England without him. Mr. BIUMERICK contended, that this was not sufficient evidence to prove that he was generally known by the name of " John Shales." The RECORDER, in summing up, intimated a different opinion, and the Jury found that the prisoner's name was " John Shales," Mr. ALLEY now addressed the Court, and observed, that of course it had now the power of obliging the pri soner to plead, but his counsel were in a delicate situation as to the advice they ought to give the priso n er, as to whether he shoulti tiow plead not guilty, or plead by de nturreri l which he had a right to do under Mr. fjo el's Act.

Samuel Waa/ was indicted for stealing a handkerchief coming down Holbo rn -hill, ... from th e pocktit of James Gardner. The prosecutor was that his p oc k et was picked, when a gentleman told him and pointed out the prisoner RS the thief. The prosecutor then asked the prisoner to give up the handkerchief. Prisoner answered this very reasonable demand by giving him a blow, which sent Wily reeling to th e ot h er s id e o f t h e str e e t.

Mr. Stone, th e prosecutor, sa id , that at the t i me this transaction took place the'prisoner was 'his servant, autho rized to receive money. On the morning before the pri soner was apprehended, . he was questioned by witness as to thiS money due' froin Messrs. Heddon and Co., to 'lVbielt he replied that Mr. Heddon was out of town,' but would pay the money on his return. Prisoner had been in the service of prosecutor for near 20 years, but had not been employed to collect till within' the last three or four years, and, till this embezzlement was discovered, had borne a good character. The money was received by him on the MO of October, but there was no entry to that effect in the book. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his former good character, when Mr. ALLEN rose, and observed, that there were five other . indictments, on charges of embezzlement, to the amount of 200/.; and the Judge observed, that this was one of the very worst eases of a crime which was now, unfortunately, but too common. Ellen Dow was indicted for stealing on , the 19th of August, two glasses, of the value of Is. 2d., the property of John Lounds. John Monday, the servant •of prosecutor, proved the charge, and the Jury returned a verdict 'of Guilty; but she was discharged on paying a fine of ls., the Court thinking, as she had been in prison three or four weeks, that she had already suffered punishment enough. Mary Etlwordi was indicted . for stealing- a petticoat, two sbifts, a quantity of lace, end other articles, the property of Mary Bright. Mary Bright, the prosecutrix, and the .officer who appre hended the prisoner, proved the charge very distinctly. The prisoner, a very decent4ooking woman, alleged in her defence, that she was driven to the crime by extreme distress. She appeared in great agony during her trial, and her character was well spoken to by a person who had known her for a considerable time—Guilty.

She lost s►ght of him for a short time, but. is sure the prisoner at the bar is the man.: He was apprehended immediately.--Verdict, - William Jones was indicted for stealing a salt-cellar, the property of Mr. Lahee, Stratford-place. Samuel Bloss, porter to Nft% Lahee, had been put in charge of the goods previous to the intended sale of them. He was told that the prisoner had taken away a saltcellar, with which he immediately charged him, and he acknow ledged the theft, but said'he had done it through distress, and hoped that he would be let go.

For rest (for that is the name she is now known by), the female friend and companion of the late Mr. launtle roy, has been living in a house on the New Steyne.--- On'Saturday last, a solicitor, who occupies the house adjoining (No. 25), put up in his parlour window the following placard Beware of the ** * hOuse,_ 2 , 14, New Steyne ;" and to-d a y t h e occupants o f the latter have in their turn displayed one as follows : " The public are requested to suspend their opinion of the infamous placard. exhibited in the window of No. 25, next door, as the writer will have to prove it , in a Court of 'Justice." The New Steyne has, in consequence, been the resort of numerous gazers to day, who are at, a. loss to discover the reason of the placards being continued, as it is - understood that Mrs. F. had previously removed to another residence on the first appearance of the notice, and that she will in a day or-two leave Brighton altogether. - - For the, last two days the water in the Regent's Canal has been rendered obnoxious by the discharge of the refuse lime-water, or gas-washings. from the works of a party:of gas-makers,. calling themselves the Independent Gas-light Company.; a company set afloat during the late Share mania, and not established under the atidiority of Parliament. The eels-a nd other fish in the canal were caught floatin g on the surface in a lifeless state, in pails•and baskets, and 'the water from opposite _ Kingsland, and thence downwards for some distance, W o f the colour of milk.

An account has been published of the amount of con .ributions for the'Geeek cause, collected and managed by lie Greek Committee at Paris. It embraces the sums laced at their disposal and expended lay their order, from _ _ the eommencement-of• 1825 to the middle of the present year. It appears from this statement, that the subscrip tions from Paris and from the Departments, up to the 31st of December, 1825; amounted in all to 239,649, francs, car 9,6001. sterling. The .committee, out of this sum, gave 6,688 francs to General Roche and his family ; expended 70,646 francs in an attempt to establish an arsenal and corps of artillery; disbursed in clothing and other materiel 75,000 francs more, and paid 4,600 francs for. the m um , nance and educatiOn of five or six young Greeks ; bk(l.4 other items which have not enumerated. The receipts of the Committee during the first six months of the presOit year amounted to the considerable sum of 651,867 Gains, which, added to the balance of last year, raised their funds to 727,996 francs, or about 29,120/. The following is the manner in which this fund has been disposed of:— fr. C.

The amount . collected from door to door by the ladies of Paris,' WitEY in the first months of this year, 122,881 francs. The Committee, by the detailed statement whiCh we have not room to in r!' seems in most instances to have made a judicious cation of the means placed at its disposal.
